Does anyone know an easy way to find the port number that a SQL Server instance is using in SQL Server 2000?

Haven't used SQL 2000 for so long. I think you can find in Network Utility.

MVJ, do you want to do this programmatically or is the GUI fine?

I just need to be able to find the port number when confronted with an unknown SQL Server that I only have access to at the Windows level.

I was hoping for some really easy to use utility, but anything that works will do.

You can view the information in Server Network Utility if you've got the SQL client tools installed on the database server. It's the easiest way to view the information.

... I know the URL that I pasted doesn't seem like it will help, but it explains where to find the port in the registry if you don't have the server network utility installed.

Thanks. I tried both, and they both look good.

It's shocking how often I am confronted with a SQL Server I never heard of before, considering how many years I have been at this company and that I am nominally responsible for all of them.
